Enter Our “Style Icon of the Times” Contest on Pinterest!

Fashions come and go, but style icons never fade. Starting on 7/24 at 11 a.m. PT, we’re holding a style icon contest on Pinterest to honor fearlessly stylish females from over the decades! Create a board conceptualizing the life and style of a bygone-era icon that you adore, and you could be one of five to win a $50 ModCloth gift certificate, plus a copy of the “Forever Marilyn” Blu-ray collection!

To enter, title your board “ModCloth Style Icon of the Times Contest,” then add a description that notes the name and era of your style icon. Your completed board should consist of 10 — 20 pins that encompass the life and look of your style icon, and why you find them to be an inspiration. Make sure to re-pin the contest pin, and to pin to your board at least three ModCloth items that you think would fit into your style icon’s closet. In each pin’s caption, include a small description along with the hashtags #styleicon and #modcloth. Then, when your board is perfect, share it with us by posting it as a link in a comment on the original contest announcement pin, located in our “Ladies We Love” board.

Looking for a starting point? Look no further than our Vintage Vantage board on Pinterest, where we will be pinning photos of Marilyn Monroe as inspiration throughout the length of the contest. We can’t wait to see your entries!

I’m a little confused.. in the first paragraph, it says the contest starts on 7/23; but in the bulleted list, it says the contest starts 7/24. Could you please clarify which day it is? I’m really excited to enter!! Thank you!

I am having issues with my board disappearing. On my second attempt at creating the board, it suddenly disappeared again with three pins to go. Now I am unable to pin anything to it because the board title is missing from my board options after I press “pin it”. I dug some and noticed that Pinterest has received other complaints of this happening, and that they hope to resolve it by….yesterday : (. But mine is still not resolved: (. I suppose I will just have to wait and see if my board will suddenly reappear before the contest deadline. Just thought I would bring this to attention in case someone else is experiencing these issues as well. PS I really enjoy these kind of contests, they are fun to create as well as to see what others have created!

Hello! I have created my board and would like to submit it, however I am having trouble following ModCloth on Pinterest. I have tried all day, I’ve tried restarting my computer and browser, logging out and back in, and no luck. When I click “follow”, it acts as though I have successfully followed ModCloth, but then when I refresh the page it says I am not following ModCloth, and am following 0 people. I’m not sure what I should do…any help would be greatly appreciated!
